JUST IN: A FEMA supervisor who instructed disaster relief officials to avoid homes and not help Americans who showed support for Trump has been relieved of duties, according to an official statement.
“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” the FEMA supervisor wrote in a “best practices” memo.
Although the official was not named in the statement, multiple government officials told the Daily Wire that the person responsible for the misguided directive is named Marn’i Washington.
According to the Daily Wire's exclusive report, the FEMA agents ordered not to help citizens with Trump signs were operating in Highlands County, Florida. At least 20 homes were reportedly skipped over.
“I know they’re short-staffed, I thought we could go help and make a difference,” one of the FEMA employees remarked. “When we got there we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”
Photos shared in the report stated that workers flagged homes as “not able to access property” and included explanations, such as “Trump sign no entry per leadership,” “Per leadership no stop Trump flag,” “Trump sign,” and “Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”
A FEMA employee said: “I volunteered to help disaster victims, not discriminate against them. It didn’t matter if people were black, white, Hispanic, for Trump, for Harris. Everyone deserves the same amount of help.”
A formal complaint raised serious questions about state-sanctioned discrimination against Americans for their personal beliefs.
“This behavior raises significant concerns of discrimination against United States citizens because of their political views,” the complaint said. “These actions not only undermine the integrity of our agency and create a hostile work environment for those who may hold differing political beliefs but they also threaten the very democracy of our country.”
FEMA issued a statement over the scandal to the New York Post.
“FEMA helps all survivors regardless of their political preference or affiliation and we are deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions,” an agency spokesperson told The Post.
“While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again,” they added.
“The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes, and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident."
“We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels,” the rep said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis remained optimistic the employees involved would ultimately be fired.
“The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days,” DeSantis wrote on X.
“At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump,” he added.
“New leadership is on the way in DC, and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired.”
It will be a great day for America when DEI is ended in our federal agencies.
BREAKING: According to a Gallup poll review, more individuals are identifying as Republican or "lean Republican" (48%) than Democrat or "lean Democrat" (45%), a shift for the GOP, which has usually trailed the Democrats in the past 30 years.
There was a strange spectacle that just played out on national television: One of the major party nominees for president stood at a microphone for an hour, calling on people called journalists, who asked him questions of their choosing, on a wide variety of subjects. And he answered them.
This guy went into a Kamala Harris event with a Trump shirt on and then to a Trump event with a Kamala shirt on
The difference in the way he was treated is just jaw-dropping

Last week, Joe Biden made perhaps the most shocking admission ever uttered in the history of presidential debates. On live television, Joe Biden confirmed his plan to ABOLISH the entire U.S. Oil Industry—that means NO fracking, NO jobs, and NO energy for Pennsylvania Families!
